About the role

Who we are:

At Glydways, we are redefining public transit. We view mobility as the key to opportunity, connecting individuals to housing, education, jobs, commerce, and healthcare. By enhancing transportation accessibility, affordability, and sustainability, we empower communities to flourish and unlock social and economic growth.

Our mission is to transform transit with a solution that combines high capacity, superb user experiences, affordability, and minimal environmental impact.

The Glydways system is an innovative network of carbon-neutral, interconnected transit pathways powered by standardized autonomous vehicles on dedicated roadways. Operating around the clock with on-demand access, it provides personalized and efficient mobility—without the heavy upfront infrastructure costs or ongoing taxpayer subsidies.

With Glydways, we are not just building a transportation system; we are creating a future where every individual, everywhere, enjoys the freedom to move.

Meet the Team:

The Safety, Quality and Compliance (SQC) organization guarantees that Glydways Automated Transit Networks are developed, verified, validated, and operated in a demonstrably safe, compliant, and high-performing manner. SQC operates independently from Engineering and Program Management, adhering to CENELEC railway safety standards by clearly delineating the roles of design and validation. Within SQC, the Verification, Validation & Testing (V&V) team is responsible for planning, specifying, executing, and reporting system-level tests, thereby providing formal evidence for the safety case and regulatory acceptance.

 

Role Overview:

We are seeking a dynamic System Test Lead to oversee and drive all formal system-level test campaigns at our development facility and project deployment sites, spanning system-level testing, validation, regression, production acceptance, and commissioning. You will not only execute test campaigns but also lead test activities, establish standards, and ensure the quality and completeness of the evidence that contributes to the safety case.

You will develop and cultivate a high-performing test organization, make real-time decisions on the test track, present test readiness evidence at formal safety gates, and liaise directly with the Independent Safety Assessor.

This position requires a candidate who possesses deep technical test expertise alongside the leadership skills necessary to drive execution, shape processes, and own outcomes at the program level. You will be at the intersection of systems engineering, safety assurance, and test operations, and your actions and judgments will significantly influence project success.
